Some I can, some I can't - though in general I don't reread anything as much now as I did before I was 25. As a teenager I'd often finish a book and then go back to the beginning and reread it immediately - without even getting up.
I don't do that anymore.
Also, I have different reasons for not rereading books - some I can't get into any more (I could never re-read anything by Weis and Hickman ever again) while I think others I simply over-read.
For example, I haven't been able to re-read Lord of the Rings in about the last decade -mainly because I read it twice a year for about twenty-five years and after fifty-odd readings I just don't feel the need to re-read.
